Woman causes crash shaving bikini area while driving - NBC-2.com WBBH News for Fort Myers, Cape Coral & Naples, Florida
KEY WEST: A woman shaving her bikini area while driving caused a car accident on Cudjoe Key, near Key West, according to a report in keysnews.com.
Troopers told the reporter that 37-year-old Megan Mariah Barnes was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be properly groomed for the visit.
So during the drive, she decided to shave.
Her ex-husband, who was in the passenger's seat, took the wheel while she focused on other areas, according to the report.
The site also noted that Barnes was convicted of DUI and driving without a license the day before the crash.
The vehicle she was driving struck another car from behind, causing minor injuries to the occupants.
The report says she and her ex-husband drove another half-mile after the crash and switched seats, so it looked like he was driving.
But burns on his chest from the passenger-side airbag sank their story – since the site reports the driver's airbag wasn't deployed by the impact.
Troopers charged Barnes with driving with a revoked license, reckless driving, leaving the scene of a wreck with injuries and driving with no insurance.
A trooper told keysnews.com he thought another incident in the same general area was the strangest traffic incident he'd ever see – but this topped it.
